Abstract
Teacher evaluation is a widely discussed area. The issues of power, politics, purposes, processes and outcomes that are incorporated in its practice, make it an area of a never-ending concern. As part of this wave of educational reforms in the Greek context, the current endeavor proposes a teacher’s evaluation process model, under the lens of the Symbolic Universes Approach.
